Determining an enthalpy change of a displacement reaction Aim: To determine the enthalpy change for the displacement reaction between zinc powder and copper (II) sulphate solution. Zn (s) + Cu2+ (aq) → Cu2+ (s) + Zn2+ (aq) Theory: For the displacement reaction‚ an excess amount of zinc powder is added to the measured amount of aqueous copper (II) sulphate. The temperature change over a period of time has to be measured and thus‚ the enthalpy change for the reaction can be measured. The equation

Determining an Enthalapy Change of Reaction Purpose of Experiment The purpose of this experiment is to determine the enthalapy change for the displacement reaction: Zn(s) + CuSO4(aq) Cu(s) + ZnSO4(aq) Hypothesis With this experiment I can also not make a hypothesis‚ because we did actually not do the experiment‚ but we were told that the temperature would make a sudden drop ‚ but we can measure the ΔT of the surrounding. The reaction is endothermic because the system will take in energy

with chemical reactions and/or physical transformations. A reaction may release or absorb energy‚ and a phase may change‚ such as in melting and boiling. Thermochemistry focuses on these energy changes‚ particularly on the system ’s energy exchange with its surroundings. In combination with entropy determinations‚ it is used to predict whether a reaction is spontaneous or non-spontaneous‚ favourable or unfavourable. Chemical reactions can be divided into two based on the energy changes that occur

The higher up a metal is in the reactivity series‚ the more reactive it is. In the experiment conducted‚ the three metals‚ magnesium‚ zinc and copper each had to undergo displacement reactions and reactions with water‚ oxygen and dilute acids‚ to arrange them in the

Lab #4: Aqueous Reactions Introduction: In this experiment we studied the two different types of aqueous chemical reactions‚ double replacement and single replacement. In a double replacement reaction one or both of the products is an insoluble ionic compound or otherwise known as a precipitate; or a non-electrolyte; or a gas. In a single replacement reaction there is typically a metal and an ionic compound consisting of a metal cation and a non-meatl anion. Singel replacement ractions occur when

Chemistry Internal Assessment 2011 Candy Au Introduction The reaction between zinc and copper (II) sulphate is endothermic. If an excess of zinc powder is added to a measured amount of aqueous copper (II) sulphate in a calorimeter and the temperature change is recorded over a period of time‚ the enthalpy change of the reaction can be experimentally determined. Assumption 1. Mass of H2O in 100cm3 of CuSO4 solution is 100g 2. Specific heat of solution is 4.18 kJ kg-1 K-1 which is the
